First fishing trip this year, surface water temps are 62-65 depending where you go, cooler as you get closer to the dam, water conditions mid lake and down are clear some places you can see down 15 feet, bass are in a holding pattern, few have migrated toward the very back of coves and major creeks, seen 4 really big girls that just pulled up, those 4 were EXTREMLY spooky, weather conditions were blue bird sky's, winds were mild, the pattern was stumps on main lake points as well as secondary points for Sturgeon, Dukes,  Beaver Pond areas, it was tuff finding any schools in these areas, also void of any bait pods as well, number one presentation was a Strike King 3/8oz. Structure jig with a missile baits baby D-bomb, high pressure day only yeilded 4 bites, caught 3 and lost a big one at the boat, the bite was so subtle that you really only knew the fish had it by gauging the slack in your line as you brought the jig up and over each stump, all in all it wasn't the day I had hoped for but it was a great day to be on the lake !!

Looks great to me!

 

Nice fish and great fishing report!

I feel you. We couldn't find any bait at all. We wound up turning a bust of a day into a good Papermouth  dinner 

any day on the lake is a great day on the lake!  way to avoid my old friend the skunk!
